Finally Friday Five: Yogi, Yoga, Pitch In, Movies and Music

Da bahrs - Since our July 2 story on a bear sighted in Smithfield recently, later spotted in Exeter, another bear was sited July 5 in Burrillville on Emerson Road and Hill Road. It was last seen heading north through the woods parallel to Hill Road. Bears are attracted to trash cans, grills and bird feeders. If sited, Smithfield Police advise to not panic or approach the bear. If the bear is in your yard DEM advises he can probably be scared off by banging pots and pans.
